The Rays are the first team to lose four 1-0 games in a calendar month, and within a span of 22 games, since the 1969 Astros, who did so in 20 July games. They are the first AL team to do so since the 1955 White Sox.

More on Matt Moore/Matt Moore

Had the Rays' Matt Moore dressed and checked out quicker Wednesday, he would have met the Dolphins' Matt Moore in the Starbucks adjacent to the teams' Fort Worth hotel. Rays RHP James Shields played high school baseball with the QB and invited him down for a quick visit, figuring the LHP was on the way. "Just missed him," LHP Moore said. But LHP Moore did have some fun with the situation, going to the hotel desk Tuesday night saying he was the QB and needed a new room key, which he got after showing his ID, much to the amusement of teammates Alex Cobb and Jeremy Hellickson. LHP Moore then fessed up, but the desk clerk had the last laugh: "She was like, 'I was going to say you don't look like a football player,' and I was like, 'Gee, thanks.' "
